AND

THE PONTIAC EDUCATION ASSOCIATION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PREAMBLE The Board of Education of Pontiac Township High School District No. 90 and the Pontiac Education Association recognize the common goal of providing the best educational program possible for the students of this District. The Board and the Association acknowledge that the attainment of the educational objectives of the District requires mutual understanding and cooperation among the Board, the Administration, and the professional teaching personnel. To this end the free and open exchange of views is desirable and necessary, with all parties participating in positive negotiations, contained within the scope of this agreement, leading to quality education for the youth of the District. Both parties recognize that a code of ethics is important in harmonious relations. Therefore, the Association chooses to operate under the Code of Ethics of the Illinois Education Association and the Board of Education chooses to operate under the Code of Ethics of the Illinois Association of School Boards. The parties agree that the Preamble is philosophical in nature and thus difficult to define; therefore, it is agreed by the parties that said Preamble is nongrievable and is to be ignored by an arbitrator.

A. Definition: A grievance is a claim by a certified teacher that there has been a violation, misinterpretation or misapplication of any of the articles of the Agreement.

Subject to all applicable laws except as necessary for the purpose of implementing this section, both the Administration and the teacher agree that grievance proceedings shall be kept informal and confidential at all levels of the procedure. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as limiting the right to any certified teacher having a grievance to discuss the matter informally with any appropriate member of the Administration provided they use prescribed channels.

C. Subject Matter: Only one (1) subject matter shall be covered in any one (1) grievance. A written grievance, at Levels Two and beyond, shall contain the name and position of the grievant, a clear and concise statement of the grievance, the issue involved, the relief sought, the date the incident or violation took place, the specific section of the Agreement alleged to have been violated, and the signature of the grievant and the date submitted.

D. Structure: The Pontiac Education Association shall direct the Welfare Committee to process teacher grievances presented by a member of the Association. This Welfare Committee shall constitute an advisory group of the Association. The Committee shall determine in accordance with the procedure set forth herein, whether in the opinion of such Committee, a grievance brought to it by the Association member is or is not deserving of action.

E. Procedure: It is important that grievances be processed as rapidly as possible. The number of days indicated at each level will be considered maximum and every effort should be made to expedite the process. However, when mutually agreed upon by the Administration and the teacher involved, the indicated time limits may be extended, or will be extended, if either is incapacitated. “School days” as used herein shall mean days when the School District Office is open for business.

School year for this section shall be defined as the school fiscal year (July 1 - June 30).

A written report stating the decision or disposition of the grievance and the basis

therefore shall be reduced to writing and a record kept at levels two, three, and four and shall accompany the grievance.

Arbitration: If a satisfactory settlement is not reached at Level Four, the Association must

notify the President of the Board of Education in writing within twenty (20) school days that they intend to process the grievance to arbitration. Upon receipt of such notice, the American Arbitration Association shall be contacted for said arbitration services.

agreeable date to review the evidence and hear testimony relating to the grievance. Upon completion of this review and hearing, the arbitrator shall render a written decision to both the Board of Education and the Association which shall be binding upon both parties.

Both parties shall share equally the cost and expenses of the arbitration

proceedings, including transcript fees and fees of the arbitrator (if applicable). Each party, however, shall bear its own costs for witnesses and representation by counsel (if applicable).
